 Which would mean that we have streams to do character I/O, ByteString to
 do binary I/O, and System.IO to do, eh, something in between.

this means only that such proposal exists. i've worked on adding
bytestream support too, but don't finished the work. at least it's
possible. i hope that new i/o library will have modular design like
this so it will be easy to add new features as 3rd-party libs

 We need two seperate interfaces. One for text-mode I/O, one for raw
 binary I/O.

 When doing text-mode I/O, the programmer needs to be able to explicitly
 specify exactly which character encoding is required. (Presumably 
 default to the current 8-bit truncation encoding?)
